well, the thing is, you search for berkley courses, you can find them on the web

2016-11-28 10:59:28 UTC  

MIT too

2016-11-28 10:59:44 UTC  

why reinvent the wheel and find really good teacher

2016-11-28 10:59:55 UTC  

when there's already great resources disponible on the net

2016-11-28 11:00:18 UTC  

brb

2016-11-28 11:00:20 UTC  

students can search for them, discuss between them

2016-11-28 11:00:40 UTC  

we sometime come to see how it goes for them

2016-11-28 11:01:05 UTC  

we just don't give our opinion on the matter

2016-11-28 11:01:57 UTC  

we learn them to learn by themselves

2016-11-28 11:02:28 UTC  

when they go out of the school, they have the ability to learn whatever they see fit in CS without too much troubles

2016-11-28 11:03:00 UTC  

it's not like we teach them Java 1.8JDK and let them become obsolete afterward

2016-11-28 11:03:30 UTC  

when they will be working, they won't be able to ask their boss how to do this or that if they end up getting recruit for a new technology

2016-11-28 11:04:06 UTC  

what we do is simply guide them, for they can have every basic concept of programming

2016-11-28 11:04:14 UTC  

they learn the theory by themselve

2016-11-28 11:05:53 UTC  

oh and another huge point

2016-11-28 11:06:06 UTC  

we don't allow them the standard library ^^"

2016-11-28 11:06:16 UTC  

if they want a function, they have to code it mostly

2016-11-28 11:06:39 UTC  

except syscall, and malloc in the begining, they can't use anything

2016-11-28 11:06:50 UTC  

after a while, they code their own malloc

2016-11-28 11:07:28 UTC  

yeah it's cool

2016-11-28 11:07:42 UTC  

library injection etc

2016-11-28 11:07:57 UTC  

it's a fun thing to know

2016-11-28 11:08:42 UTC  

they can't use printf either, they can use write if they want

2016-11-28 11:08:58 UTC  

oh we have fair bits in AI too

2016-11-28 11:09:15 UTC  

for later years

2016-11-28 11:09:57 UTC  

cool 😃

2016-11-28 11:10:20 UTC

2016-11-28 11:10:32 UTC  

worked for Airbus

2016-11-28 11:10:48 UTC  

not really mechatronic, but not that far either 😛

2016-11-28 11:11:36 UTC  

if you think a plane is a mechatronic, then...

2016-11-28 11:12:12 UTC
